Sunsetting the Foundation Grant Program / Fin au Programme de subventions Fondation

Sunsetting the Foundation Grant Program

CIHR released a message from Dr. Strong on April 15th regarding the decision to sunset the Foundation Grant program. Rationale

• After four completed Foundation Grant competitions, data analysis

revealed issues.

• CIHR concluded that making adjustments to the program design

would not be sufficient to address these concerns. Impact

• Current competition: Successful applicants will still receive their

Foundation Grants in full.

• Current grantees: Foundation Grants will continue as planned,

with no reductions in funding levels.

Sunsetting the Foundation Grant Program

Roll-out and reactions

• CIHR hosted two “Ask Me Anything” webinars very shortly after the

announcement was made. An overview of the key questions and answers will be posted on CIHR’s website.

• Grantees and research administrators will receive additional

transition planning information soon.

• Reactions to the announcement varied: while many were positive on

social media, a number of people have also indicated their disappointment in the decision. The decision to sunset Foundation Grants is not related to the quality of research that was supported through the program. Outstanding research has been funded, but the program was not serving the overall system in the way it was originally intended.

Sunsetting the Foundation Grant Program

Next steps

• CIHR will work with Foundation Grant holders as they transition

back into the Project Grant program towards the end of their Foundation Grant.

• As mentioned in Dr. Strong’s message, our current plan is to

reinvest the majority of the Foundation Grant budget into the Project Grant program in future fiscal years.

• The funds will not be used for Institute-led funding opportunities or

for CIHR’s operation support (administration).

• Other investments or priorities may be identified through the

strategic planning process.
